Plan your stay at RESIDENZA SERENA B&B – Centro Storico

A family-run bed & breakfast in the historic centre of Mantua, just steps from Piazza delle Erbe and the Ducal Palace, with air-conditioned rooms and Italian breakfast.

Room types

The two room types at RESIDENZA SERENA B&B share the same basic amenities: a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, air conditioning, soundproofing, a flat-screen TV, a coffee machine and a minibar, plus free WiFi. Each accommodation is designed for a maximum of two guests and features a large double bed, ideal for couples.

The Superior Double Room, the most spacious at 25 m², offers a double view over the city and the inner courtyard, a detail that clearly sets it apart from the standard Double Room, which is more compact at 14 m². Both guarantee a quiet environment thanks to soundproofing, but the Superior is the preferable choice for those who want more space and a wider view of the surrounding urban setting.
